sort of related - my son has a seasame street coloring book. i was flipping through it and i saw they had a monster mom carrying her monster baby in a sling. i was so excited i tore it out so i can make copies to bring to LLL meetings for coloring.

I can't believe just how much of a prude we've become as a society that I bet we couldn't show the same thing today as we did "many" years ago. What's next, going back to two beds for the married couple???

We've become so accepting of "everyone" that we no longer want to offend "anyone". Ugh!

To be honest society today is about devaluing the family structure. Why else would it be ok to bombard all of us with sex constantly (lots of breasts) yet simple things like feeding our children are not ok? Brace yourselves, it will probably get worse.

An episode of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood had a segment on nursing the other day. They showed animals and then human babies nursing, including2 the mothers' entire breasts, and exactly how the baby was being fed. It was presented in a matter-of-fact way and so that children would understand and would know how very natural and normal this is. As if I could love (and miss) Mr. Rogers more...! I do wonder what kinds of letters PBS gets when they air that episode, though. Let's just say that if whoever complained at Applebee's sees it, they would flip out!
